PostCSS is a framework to develop CSS tools. It can be used to develop a template language such as Sass and LESS.
The PostCSS core consists of:
CSS parser that generates an abstract syntax tree
Set of classes that comprises the tree
CSS generator that generates a CSS line for the object tree
Code map generator for the CSS changes made
Features are made available through plugins. The plugins are small programs working with the object tree. After the core has transformed a CSS string into an object tree, the plugins analyze and change the tree. Then PostCSS generates a new CSS string for the plugin-changed tree.
PostCSS and its plugins are written in JavaScript and distributed through npm, which offer APIs for low-level JavaScript operations.
There are official tools making it possible to use PostCSS with build systems such as Webpack, Gulp, and Grunt. There is also a console interface available. Browserify or Webpack can be used to open PostCSS in a browser.
